Title 12 - Traffic

12.16.035 Fees.

1. A.
   Processing Fee. At the time of filing of an application for a parade permit, there shall be paid a processing fee of $50.00 for the administrative costs associated with processing the application.
2. B.
   City Personnel and Equipment Fee. Except for City Sponsored Parades, Government Sponsored Parades and Parades where the City Personnel and Equipment Fee is de minimus, on and after the effective date of this ordinance, in addition to the processing fee, applicants for permits for parades shall pay upon issuance of the permit a City Personnel and Equipment Fee. The City personnel and equipment costs subject to recovery shall be established by Governing Body resolution, and adjusted annually thereafter by the City Manager or his or her designee. The determination of the number of City personnel and type of equipment required will be determined by the City Manager, or his or her designee, and will be based solely upon the size, location, duration, time and date of the event, the number of streets and intersections blocked and the amount of traffic to be re-routed, as this information impacts normal traffic on the public streets. The speech content of the parade activity shall not be a consideration in determining the City Personnel Fees.
3. C.
   Fee Reconsideration. If any person or organization disagrees with the determination of the amount of the City Personnel and Equipment Fee, that person or organization may request reconsideration in accordance with the appeal procedures set forth in Section 12.16.060. This reconsideration procedure shall be exclusive means for fee reconsideration, and no elected or appointed official may otherwise waive or fail to assess processing fees and personnel and equipment fees.
4. D.
   Fee Refunds. If the permittee is unable to hold or conduct the approved parade due to inclement weather or some other cause not within the permittee’s control, the permittee may submit a written request for the refund of City Personnel and Equipment Fees to the City Clerk within ten days after the date on which the parade was to be held. The City Clerk shall reduce the City Personnel and Equipment Fee to ensure that the permittee is charged only for the actual costs of City personnel and equipment provided in support of the parade activity. The City Clerk shall refund any excess City Personnel and Equipment Fees paid, except for the $50 processing fee.
